Show Page A3 November 16, 2001 Historical Art Exhibit To Be Unveiled At Park City Mountain Resorts Legacy Lodge The Summit Institute, Park City Mountain Resort and the Park City Historical Society and Museum are pleased to announce the dedication of a new permanent exhibit Nov. 17, at 4 p.m. The dedication will be held at the Legacy Lodge at Park City Mountain Resort and the public is invited to attend. Much of Park Citys legacy is based on mining and many of the ski runs at the ski resorts reflect that mining heritage. In a joint project of the Park City Historical Society and Museum, the Summit Institute and Park City Mountain Resort, mining history will come alive on the first and second floors of the Legacy Lodge. The six large panels, digitally designed, will feature black and white and . . color photographs and objects. Each panel will feature a different name of a ski run at Park City Mountain Resort and its significance to the local minitig heritage. On Claimjumper run sits a large ore bin. This is the last remaining structure of the Silver King Consolidated Mine, one of Park City's largest producers of silver and locally known as the King Con." Today both a ski run and chair lift are named after this significant mine. Widowmaker, a mogul run off the "PayDay" chairlift, would seem to be named after the difficulty of the skiing. In fact, 3-- D Widowmaker was the name of the first pneumatic drill used by miners. The new .Veteran's Honored . . . invention created so much dust that men who used it on a regular basis died young, from silicosis or miners consumption. As mining made way for skiing, the dump of overburden rock at the Creole mine became a popular ski jump for local school children. Creole run is the same route used by these kids in the 1920s and 1930s, though back then the children had to hike up first before they could enjoy the thrill of the ski down. These unique panels are the creation of Marianne Cone, Art Director for the project. Randy Siroman, graphic artist, and were fabricated by Brad Smith of Salt Design.

A plumber by trade, and hailing from Australia, hardly noted for winter sports. Colin Coates yet wrote Olympic history. A triple Australian champion in a sailing dinghy, a' top notch hockey player and a cyclist of world championship potential, he made his mark in speed skating. Beginning with his appearance in the 1968 Grenoble Winter Games at the age of 21, Colin Coates would compete in six successive Olympics over a period of 20 years. As the 1988 Calgary Winter Games approached. Colin Coates wanted more than anything else to skate for Australia. In five previous Olympics, he had stepped to the starting line 17 times, setting er to put on a uniform. A few days before the 10.000 meter event was scheduled, a young team member was scratched, leaving an opening. Unbeknown to the team manager.

Park City Considered Major Open Space Purchase In Round Valley t The Park City Council will consider a recommendation from Citizens Open Space Advisory Committee (COSAC) to acquire 424 acres in Round Valley for S7.73 million at its regular meeting Nov. IS. This recommendation follows years of exploration of Round Valley property by COSAC and the recent intense efforts of COSAC representatives Bob Richer and Ann McQuoid, Mayor Brad Olch and John McMillian, one of the property owners. The acquisition and preservation of open space has been one of Park City's top priorities for the last 15 years. Pursuing this goal, voters of Park City approved a $10 million open space bond in 1998, the first of its kind in the state of Utah. The city council appointed COSAC, a citizens committee chartered to advise the council on open space policies and to identify open space for acquisition. COSAC adopted acquisition criteria, giving preference to those open spaces in the communitys entry view corridors and parcels contiguous with already preserved lands having significant recreational, wildlife and aesthetic values. Round Valley is the name commonly assigned to the area northeast of 8 and the Park Park City bounded by Old Ranch Road, US-4Meadows and Trailside neighborhoods. This largely hidden landscape of hills and valleys is widely considered the most significant unprotected open space remaining in the Park City area. Traditionally used for sheep 0, Sot a Mews SR-24- grazing. Round Valley is now a major recreation area for mountain bikers, hikers, joggers, cross country skiers, and equestrians. Years of inquiries, discussions and negotiations have now resulted in COSACs recommendation that the city council purchase 424 acres in Round Valley from two separate property owners for $7.75 million. John McMillian owns 280 acres and is offering to sell 240 acres, at a price below development value, and give the city an additional 40 acres. The other property is owned by Bilogio, LLC which is managed by Michael Stewart. These key parcels, combined with other lands already purchased or preserved by the city, would give the community oveM 150 acres of recreational open space in Round Valley. In making COSACs recommendation. Bob Richer credited the foresight of Park City residents in passing the open space bond; the professionalism and perseverance of his fellow COSAC members; and the personal involvement of Mayor Brad Olch. As he approaches the end of his tenure as mayor. Brad said, I cannot think of a more fitting going away present. The acquisition of this land has been my dream from day one. I especially appreciate John and Anna Marie McMillians assistance in assuring the protection of this wonderful community open space for future generations. COSAC also appreciates the cooperation of Michael Stewart from Bilogio LI.C. Tip ? Cedi us today! Experience the Enchantment - Live On Ice! Buy Now for Best Seats! Wed. NOV. 14 thru Sun.
